Metagenomics and metatranscriptomics: Windows on CF-associated viral and microbial communities
28 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Samples collected from CF patient airways often contain large amounts of host-derived nucleic acids that interfere with recovery and purification of microbial and viral nucleic acids. This study describes metagenomic and metatranscriptomic methods that address these issues. METHODS: Microbial and viral metagenomes, and microbial metatranscriptomes, were successfully prepared from sputum samples from...
